If you read the insert of the movie 'The Graduate' you will find that Mr. Simon had been writing a song entitled 'Mrs. Roosevelt' (pardon any misspellings) a as a social commentary regarding life and times in his era. He was apporached about the movie and adapted 'Mrs. Roosevelt' to the picture, renaming it 'Mrs. Robinson'. Therefore, I think i t is a mixture between the social commentary Mr. Simon was shooting for and 'The Graduate'.
